Members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) have had access to the US Treasury payment systems for more than a week. On Thursday, the threat intelligence team recommended to one of the department’s agencies that Doge members be monitored as an ‘insider threat’.

According to sources, members of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service’s IT division and other ‘NE post were set out in which this concern was set out.

‘There is ongoing litigation, legislation on the congress and widespread protests regarding Doge’s access to the Treasury and the Bureau of Fiscal Service,’ states a section of the e -mail entitled ‘Recommendations’, reviewed by Wired . “If Doge members have access to payment systems, we recommend that you suspend access immediately and do an extensive review of all actions they have done on these systems.”

Although Treasury and the White House officials repeatedly denied it, Wired reported that Doge technologists had the ability to not only read the code of sensitive payment systems, but also to rewrite it. Marko Elez, one of a number of young men identified by Wired who has little to no government experience but is associated with Doge was granted and granted privileges over two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: the manager of The pay automation and secure payment system at the BFS, an agency that, according to the Treasury records, paid $ 5.45 trillion in the financial year 2024.

‘An other federal agencies are reported to indicate that Doge members have made unauthorized changes and civil servants closed from the sensitive systems they gained,’ the ‘recommendations’ part of the e -mail continues. “We further recommend that Doge members be placed under the insider threat monitoring and warning after their access to payment systems has been revoked. Continued access to any payment systems by Doge members, even ‘read only’, probably holds the single biggest insider threat that the Bureau of Fiscal Service has ever faced. ‘

The recommendations were part of a weekly report sent to hundreds of staff members by the BFS threat intelligence team. ‘Insider -threat risks are something [the threat intelligence team] Usually covers, ”a source told Wired. “But they have never identified anything in the bureau as a threat to insider I know.”

The Treasury Division and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The email also contains the Treasury rights lawsuit of this week, which led to a federal judge granted an order on February 6 to temporarily restrict Doge staff members to change and change access to the payment system .

In a portion of the e -mail titled ‘Analyst Notes’, the e -mail delves into the fallout of the pack.

‘A court order that reportedly formalized an agreement that limited access to the Treasury of Doge was issued, but specifically “read” releases only “releases for Marko Elez (Doge member at Fiscal Service and Treasury) and Thomas ( Alias ​​Tom) Krause (Doge member at Treasury), “It reads. “This access still poses an unprecedented threat of insider threat.”

Elez previously worked for SpaceX, Musk’s Space Company, and X, Musk’s social media business. Eelez resigned on Thursday after the Wall Street Journal inquired with the White House about his connections with “a deleted social media account that advocated for racism and eugenics.” Elez did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Besent On February 7, Senator Ron Wideen of Oregon said that “Treasury’s refusal to give straight answers about the actions of Doge, as well as the refusal to give a briefing that Asked by various senate committees, only my suspicions increase ”and requested that Bestent provide Elez and any other Doge affiliate staff on their Treasury’s systems.
